On August 26, 2025, Professor Angela Ballantyne will deliver her Inaugural Professorial Lecture at the University of Otago, Wellington. The event, scheduled for 7:30 am NZST, will take place at the Nordmeyer Theatre, located at 23a Mein Street, Newtown, Wellington.
The lecture, titled "Inaugural Professorial Lecture," will focus on the role of bioethics in making things right in medicine and science. While the specific thematic details of how bioethics contributes to correcting or improving practices in these fields are not explicitly detailed, the presentation aims to help clarify and navigate ethical dilemmas, and suggests that there is rarely a single, obvious 'right' answer.
The event is open and free to attend, both in person at the University of Otago, Wellington, and online via Zoom. For further specifics on her lecture content, checking university announcements or contacting the university directly closer to the date may be necessary.
Professor Ballantyne's lecture is part of a wide range of resources under the topic of Ethics and science, which address the challenges faced by human systems, such as a legacy of injustice, unequal distributions of power, and declining social trust.
